Chapter 15 - Interface of Python with SQL Database

Do you want to learn more about one of the most useful and practical topics in computer science? Do you want to understand how Python can be used to interact with SQL databases and perform various operations on data? Do you want to practice and implement the interface of Python with SQL database using SQLite as a database management system?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you will find this chapter very useful. In this chapter, you will learn about the concept and implementation of the interface of Python with SQL database. The interface of Python with SQL database is the process of connecting and communicating between Python as a programming language and SQL as a query language using various modules and functions. The interface of Python with SQL database is used to create, retrieve, update, and delete data from databases using Python code.

Some of the topics you will cover in this chapter are:

• The definition and features of the interface of Python with SQL database: How the interface of Python with SQL database is defined and characterized by its components such as Python, SQL, SQLite, etc. 📝👩‍🏫👨‍🎓
• The installation and configuration of SQLite: How SQLite is installed and configured as a database management system for the interface of Python with SQL database. 📊📈📉
• The connection and cursor objects: How connection and cursor objects are created and used to establish and manage the connection between Python and SQLite. 💻🖱️👍
• The execution of SQL commands: How SQL commands such as CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, etc. are executed using Python code. 💬🔎👏
• The handling of errors and exceptions: How errors and exceptions are handled using tryexceptfinally blocks in Python code. 💥😥🚱💧
• The closing of connection: How connection is closed using close() method in Python code. 🔚👋🏽

By studying this chapter, you will gain a deeper understanding of how the interface of Python with SQL database is essential and powerful tool  for interacting with databases and manipulating data using Python code. You will also develop critical thinking skills to solve various problems and cases using the interface of Python with SQL database. You will also appreciate the importance of SQLite as a simple and lightweight database management system  for the interface of Python with SQL database.
